10+ years of T440s here. Most of the time a Fedora base. Both batteries at 50% health but the only thing that really is noticeable over the years is the missing hardware for todays video codecs.

I just check reuters and apnews first these days to see what's going on before checking localized stuff.

Weed can be sticky depending on the strain/harvest/cure time

A reason why my first vote ever (20 years ago) went to the pirate party. We needed people with digital understanding 30 years ago.

"Das Internet ist für uns alle Neuland" Angela Merkel (2013) during a press conference with Obama.

"The internet is uncharted territory for us"

That is just a black screen and a search bar.

The buy for life alternative is only ever an option if you are a home owner. I would not want to move with the massive furniture of my parents.

Paying for what I need is compared to dumpster diving?

I only need to look at the past 5 years of Windows

Because some people do not waste money?. I pay 1€ for 1GB of data. Most of the time I use 0MB. Germany.

If it did not take 1 day to activate I would cancel every month and only pay when I actually have a need.

They were browsing the point shop. On Desktop (FF ctrlF5) this page loads 20-30MB of data. A mix of gif webm and animated pngs

To me it would be relevant to my use case since a TV box is not something I tinker with or want to have to worry about updates.

I would not want to deal with anything and have a stable system so Fedora Atomics or a custom ublue image.

A hobby dev will not do such thing.

What a load of BS. How can I test my website on safari without owning Apple hardware? I can't so I don't.

The whole tech house of cards would fall apart if tracking a user is made illegal - or serving ads based on any sort of tracking.

The cost of getting a drivers license has increased a lot in Germany. 2500-3500€ isn't uncommon today.

Low power, low noise, low profile system, LOW ENTRY COST. I can easily get a beelink me mini or two and build a NAS + offsite storage. Two 1TB SSDs for a mirror are around 100€, two new 1TB HDDs are around 80€.

You are thinking in dimensions normal people have no need for. Just the numbers alone speaks volumes, 12TB, 6 hdds, 8TB NVMes, 2.5GB LAN.

I have been pirating on and off for almost 25 years. This wasn't a problem in my early years so I learned and know all the sides of it. I would have definitely got those in my early days. But the whole thing started way later and they should still be around.

Doubt with the whole tech stack. Germany is using a lot more Palantir in the police. I'd love to see change.

I have played through CP2077 with 40, 30 and 25 fps. A child doesn't care if Zelda runs with low FPS.

The only thing I value is a consistent stream of frames on a console.

It is a setting managed by the content creators. That is why it is very random

As I've helped my beekeeping grandpa over the years I disagree. I've been stung twice (around thousands of bees) and both times they flew into my hair and could not get out.

I still do not like honey - unless I use it for cooking.

I use my monitors, TVs, PC hardware for 10 years+. Things dying after 3 years is a big fucking deal. WTF is wrong with you.

I played both Oris for 1€ on gamepass only to buy it when it's in a steam sale (~11€ for both iirc). I have free games from epic only to buy them on Steam for 5€. I have no problem pirating games. The last big title was Cyberpunk. It runs like shit on my end but once I buy a GPU I'll buy Cyberpunk. Until then I can wait.

I pirated GTA5 to test it on my machine back in the days. Textures popped in seconds later because the HDD was way too slow to handle the game. I prefer pirating a game over dealing with refunds. I have it for free from Epic. Would I buy it now? No. I don't like the game at all after playing for 4 hours.

What is my favorite single player game? Cyberpunk. Do I share that information? Yes.

You can help save the planet by asking AI less questions!

Yeah I have 0 trust in the responses I am getting so instead of verifying random claims I'm taking my own turns

I wonder if there will be a big difference between a 60Hz and 120Hz Display. Blur is distracting if the content is dynamic.

A warm drink is something I hate. No tea/coffee for me. Ice tea is something I would still thin with 90% water + 10% ice tea

Cannabis made me lose 20kg in a short span (~2 months). But the main reason was extreme loss of appetite. I cooked normal and after 40% of a plate I was full.

You do this for a few days and then you start changing your cooking habbits. This was a year ago and I've held the weight since and simply started eating less. My old eating habbits did not make me gain weight though as my old weight was constant for 10 years.

My main liquid is 98% water. I cant stand soda unless its mixed with 90% water.

Mullvad (VPN) currently is in Sweden.

The early adopters. Even for consoles you can wait and get them second hand years later. There is no reason to chase the latest releases other than having a fetish for experiencing all the bugs/crashes/join queue/server overload on release days. PC gaming can be expensive (hardware/games) and cheap (hardware/games). Used Steam Decks and Rog Ally starts at around 300€ - a controller, screen and enough power to play with options for more (game pass/xbox & geforce now streaming). It always depends on what kind of gamer you are, what you want to play and how much you are willing to invest into the hobby.
